Plain - that actually really saddens me - I meant it when I said I looked forward to our joyful sparring - you have made me laugh on many a night.

I say again I am completely able to separate a disagreement on one subject and have fun on another.

If you really feel that strongly - just break away for a while but not for good then come back and lets have fun again -

If you did this then the wrong person would be leaving again!

Wow, I went to work, then to a ballgame, and come home to 15 pages---and in all honesty I am totally overwhelmed.

I am a VERY uninvolved mod. I admit that, I warned Alex that I would be when approached about it. I am not very computer savvy, and therefore leave the deleting posts and moving posts to other mods. I have spent most of my time as a mod welcoming new bandsters. Well to be honest, I USED to. Then I went back to work full time. I seldom do more than check in with my friends here and on a few other select threads.

Very likely you are right, and I need to step aside as a mod, simply because I am not around and able to do the job as I once was.

This is the first time I have ever heard that you were a mod. Earlier tonight someone mentioned "Kat" but I didn't know it was you.

To the mod or mods who "warned" HH, he has given permission for them to be posted. Even HE wants to see them, for the first time, he says.

I'm just a messenger. Don't shoot.

Agreed...he did say this. Show us the man behind the curtain, hmmm? Shine some light on the black ops? If the rules are applied fairly, no need to have a privileged type of attitude about the deliberations etc.

Count me in on this. I'd like to see the warnings. I know that he rec'd those wrist slaps about attacking the idea, not the person, but what about PMs to him? Were those done? I may have spoken out of turn earlier if there were actually no official warnings.

NOTE: I DID have this wrong. Sorry. HeadHunter said he never rec'd any official warnings..

I was wrong. Got new info.

I have to be honest, though, when I say that because of Susan's propensity to post and then pull, or to pull other's posts, I would be prone to believe the flip side, creating posts that "weren't". I'm just not all that trusting of her actions, because of past experience.

OH and I came up with that all on my own; no one put that thought in my head. Well, maybe reading people like George Orwell, but he doesn't post on here.

I will ban any member who posts PRIVATE information (such as PM's) that have been sent from one member to another member, from a mod to a member and vice versa.

It's called "Private" Message because it's private and meant to stay that way.

I think we can all agree on this one....

Bear with me here, I'm blonde and sometimes slow...Which part of that was constructive talk or support about WLS?

Hmmm...Elizabethsew told me I could post a PM of hers when I complained of a bully and was told effectively that I could "report" her but she wasn't going to be banned.

Was that wrong of her? This is just assinine. It really is. I believe this most likely means the warnings weren't done as stated, the "ethnic slurs" etc didn't occur as stated. Good grief. How wicked to besmirch anyone...ANYONE...and not give them recourse.

I'm done here. I know you won't miss me much, although I feel I've given prudent sound advice over and over again.

But I won't be a part of an organization with such a fatal flaw at it's core.

If both parties of a PM consent to that, then it's ok. It's for members as well as moderator privacy protection.

You will be missed, any decent contributing member who leaves LBT will always be missed.

I fail to see this fatal flaw at LBT's core. Sure, peoples personalities intersect at times but I'd have to say for the most part, things run very smoothly.

Send me a PM to discuss your issues at hand and instead of walking away from something you see as an issue, try to assist in correcting it or finding a solution to it.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
